TABLE OF CONTENTS
Upon referral, an individual applies with United Way of Greater Charlottesville (UWGC), which serves as the program administrator and loan-maker. Approvals go to Virginia National Bank (VNB), which donates its loan administration process, and to Carter Myers Automotive (CMA), which sources affordable, reliable vehicles based on each family’s needs. Families also receive insurance referrals with agents who have agreed to work with the program.
